THE SYLLABUS Junior History One day early in the September of 1922 about sixty or more boys and girls skipped up the walk that leads to the seat of learning called Sheridan High School. We were no exception to the rule that all Freshmen are green, all class histories since the time of Noah have said that. Of course we followed the usual custom of getting mixed up in our class and being mercifully shown the correct route of procedure by the teachers. We were not slow in organizing. Harry Darnell became President; Rosanna Vickery as Vice-President; Secretary, Fred Robbins, and Treasurer, Erith Powell. We were all models of propriety that winter, not a party nor a supper of any kind. The only action of note being the purchasing of a picture to hang in the lower assembly, for the purpose of keeping our minds patriotically inclined, the picture being that of our national capitol building at Washington, D. C. At the end of the year our number had diminished to about fifty-five. Almost everyone became candidates for full pledgee! Sophomores. Our Sophomore year found us quite sophisticated. The class organized soon with Rosanna Vickery at its head, Harriet Horney, Vice-President, and Cliffie Kercheval, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Kingsolver was chosen class sponsor. Not much action along the social line, there being but one weiner roast, however this was an unqualified success, since there were plenty of “eats” and plenty of people to eat them. Then we did a most notable achievement, and that was the buying of Sweat Jerseys for the basketball boys, there being a dirth of such articles around the school. The girls made candy and sold it and the boys heroically donated a quarter to the cause. The desired amount was collected and the Jerseys were purchased, and we had the pleasure of seeing the aforesaid Jerseys stolen before the next winter. The next fall found almost all of the original number as Juniors. Cliffie Kercheval was elected President; Harry Darnell, Vice and Ruth., McKinzie, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Bradley became class sponsor. Not a thing in social activities but there seemed to be enough without that. The play “Seventeen” was selected and the cast chosen, practice began at once, and we expected to give the play in about three weeks time, but one thing and another came up, until it was put off until January 21-22. The play was a pronounced success. Everyone predicted that in the far off future the whole cast would become Sara Bernhardt’s and Robeit Mantell’s. Perhaps the cast thought so themselves. A fair profit was realized from this dramatic venture, with which we banqueted the Seniors this spring. Soon came the question of jewelry. As usual the boys selected it. Most of the tlas got lings but a few bought pins, and now the whole Junior class can sport jewelry a'ong with the Seniors. The Juniors also made a fair sum by selling candy on commission of noons and other times. Twenty-six
